There was a posting about the Express Modem CP only a few days which
was reposted under a new subject heading because this problem comes
up a lot. Try loading the Powerbook CP (Version 7.6) instead of
Energy Saver CP. Let me know if it works.

> I have a 2300c that I just installed 8.6 on. The computer works

>normal position each time I use the external modem, which is most of the

>selection, or it will give me the choice between internal, or modem port.
>Not printer/modem port which is normal undocked. I've done all of the normal
>maneuvers to try to remedy this problem such as,selecting normal in the
>config as I stated above, resetting pram, deleting preferences, turning off
>apple talk, gone as far as removing the GV modem control panel/extensions,
>rebuilding the desktop, so on. Is there a quirk in 8.6 with respect to the
>2300 or am I missing something. I didn't have this problem with my 3400
>(also with a combined printer/modem port). Could it have something to do
>with the global village software. I'm using version 2.5.5. Then again the
>problem exists even when I remove the software from the system.
>I've always been able to resolve this problem with the duo's in earlier
